Owner description: Hailed as one of the world's most beautiful, this breathtaking bay along St. Thomas' rugged north coast is ideal for swimming and snorkeling with all the conveniences of parking, lifeguards, equipment rental, freshwater showers, restaurants and bars.

From the cruise port, it's about 15-20 minutes (if you don't hit traffic), $8 each way by taxi, plus $4 to enter. Even with two ships in port when I visited, the beach didn't feel crowded. Beach chairs were $7 to rent, and I enjoyed a nice rum punch from the bar. The water is crystal clear and the sand is so pretty and white. This is a beach for total relaxation, as there are no jet skis, no parasailing, no motorized boat equipment at all, no people trying to sell you stuff, etc. Kayaks and stand up paddle boarding are available, though. Bring a good book and enjoy your time here!

Coming from Miami Beach, I know beaches. The beach was nice,but nit overly scenic. Partial eaten pizza slices all over the place. The birds were feasting on them. Gulf beaches were nicer and Aruba beaches the best in the world. Not used to the cold water in summer.

Every review that I read said that Magen's Bay is one of the Top 10 most beautiful beaches on Earth. I'm not sure why I didn't believe that, but it just seemed hard to imagine that I would actually be able to visit a place so well regarded.

Believe the hype; Magen's Bay is amazing.

The water is crystal clear and feels amazingly good. My wife and I went there on our honeymoon in November, and the water felt perfect. The sand is clean and flawless, there's plenty of shade around, the water is still and calm so you don't have to worry about being thrashed around (just float on your back and forget your troubles). Even the iguanas simply lounge around, so you get to see some cool nature. It really is paradise, as corny as that sounds.

The only advice I can give is to wear lots of sunscreen, because you're going to be spending a ton of time in the water.

Beautiful beach with the softest sand, beautiful flowers, lots of room to park and have a picnic. Calm water, crystal clear. Relax and soak up the sun or play in the ocean. It doesn't get any better than this.
